Description: This is a compilation of writings edited by Kenneth S. Goodman. The writings are critiques about the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills. The forward is written by David Pearson. If you are a proponent of the science of reading movement currently (or have always been, for that matter), you might enjoy reading this book to make note of its obvious lack of awareness for the science of reading. (Ken Goodman has been thrown under the bus for his 'psycholinguistic guessing game' approach to reading.) We know that measures of early literacy skills can be helpful predictors of reading success. In this book, various writers rip apart the DIBELS early literacy assessments. DIBELS has changed a bit since this book was written. If you are a parent, you might be interested in reading the prologue written by a parent, "DIBELS: One Family's Journey". Here is the opening: "I have been crying for the better part of two days because my family has encountered the horror of DIBELS." This is a slim volume, accessible at any chapter of interest. There are margin notes and underlines in the book.
